Hi all, I had an interesting pre-op discussion with a surgeon and would be interested in your feedback. 1) On endothelial cell loss: He thinks that the cell...
There's a Seinfeld episode where Jerry says you never want to have a procedure done where other doctors say "I have got to see this!" Ha-ha. ;) Glad to hear...
My pressure was down to 6 this morning! So, I get to go off one of the pressure meds! When they looked at my eye this morning, they saw a "helon globule."...
Wow, sorry you had to go through that. Hope you're feeling better now! But this illustrates exactly why it's a good idea to do one eye at a time as was...
Glad to hear you feeling better. Not a very good experience to go through on your first surgery. Hoping you continue to improve & the proceudre for the second...
No worries, I just kept my dinner down! And, I'm feeling much better! I felt like I got excellent care, although, like Dr. G...my doctors dismissed me for a...
You know how I said I would feel sick if you had a bad outcome? I'm feeling a little sick. :( As Dr G mentioned, you are not the first person to have this ...
Wow, I thought I was the only person that had this complication. Thankfully I had the experience on my second eye so I didn't have a second procedure to worry...
Wow, I really hope that was just a fluke and that you have no further complications. It sounds as if your eye was just eager to heal. :) That is good news...
I had my right eye ICL procedure on Monday morning. Things were going great until Monday evening when I got what I thought was a migraine and started throwing...
It is totally normal to have cold feet. That being said, it sounds like you have more than cold feet. There is no hard in postponing until you are more...
... Is there a link between high prescriptions and cataracts? I have been told repeatedly that there's a strong link between myopia and retinal detachment,...
... Glad you went through with it! I'm now 2.5 months out, and I am SOOOOO happy I had the surgery performed (and if you go through the group's archive, you...
I am home from having my right eye ICL procedure. The doctor said it went perfectly! I went to the surgical center, took some Valium, got an IV, got hooked...
It's been about 18 months since I had the Visian ICL procedure. I finally had my eyes refracted and it turns out that they are a little over-corrected. Before...
... This is where things get a little sketchy to me. In a discussion elsewhere, someone suggested that EVERYONE has artifacts, not matter what they use for...
if you'd like to chat, i am nchiker37 on yahoo IM- i will be up a few more minutes. I had visian down 2 years ago and can tell you a few things to watch out...

I had my eyes done 2 weeks apart. Even if some people have them done together and it turns out alright for most of them I'd still recommend doing them...
I have a family friend who became blind after a botched laser procedure. Both eyes were done at the some time, and he really regretted that decision. Even...
My doctor explained that he did it this way so that, if there was a problem like increased eye pressure, you wouldn't be dealing with it in two eyes at once....
The doctor planned to do my eyes a week apart, but it was stretched to two due to the wildfires here that year. In my case, I'm glad they weren't at the same...
Hi, Jeff. Welcome! I had the bilateral surgery performed, and I'm glad I did. I think it made everything easier (didn't have to fuss with a contact lens or...
I think every doctor is a little different. The surgeon I am using is from Sweden and has been doing these implants since 1998 (two years after ICL's were...
I am envious you are getting yours on the same day! I am getting mine next week- right eye on Monday and left on Wednesday. So, after the surgery on Monday,...
